This section describes the Office of University Registrar (OUR) guidelines and procedures, in accordance with theFreedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, for assigning access to student and applicant records. These records are collected to assess students' qualification for entry, establish a record of their performance in programs and courses, provide the basis for awards and government funding and to assist the University in the academic and financial administration of its affairs.

Also, as stipulated in the OUR'sStudent Applicant and Record Policy:Faculty and staff members of the University are given access to information contained in student records if they need to know the information in order to perform their official duties.

Through the University's Student Information System, each student has access to his/her academic record. If an individual student seeks academic advice from a faculty or staff member who does not have OUR-authorized access to student record information, the student may, at his/her discretion, elect to share their academic record with the member.

Access to the Student Information System is assigned according to the required level of access as determined by a member's official duties connected with the purpose for which the data was collected (i.e. to assess students' qualification for entry, establish a record of their performance in programs and courses, provide the basis for awards and government funding and to assist the University in the academic and financial administration of its affairs). Differing levels of access are available and these levels are defined as a series of "profiles." Each profile allows access to specific information and on either a query or update basis.

Students of Queen's University may be assigned access to students' records in the capacity of employees or volunteers.
